The winter of 18s6,S7, in Wyoming,
will be noted as one of the mildest known
to the Oldest inhabitant. There have
been one or two cold snaps during the
season, but none that we're severe, and
they were uniformly of short duration. In
this latitude we have had no billiards. and
consequently our cattle are in better con-
dition than they have ever been at this
time of the year. On the whole, this
winter has substantiated the fact that
Wyoming is one of the best winter resorts
in the West, especially for those in feeble
health who suffer from the severity of the
season in the states.
